Mentat: parallel computing using the Matlab compiler
The Mentat toolbox is a collection of Matlab functions that enables you to perform parallel computations from within Matlab on a Beowulf-style cluster. The toolbox was developped on Linux with Matlab 6.5, but probably will also work on other platforms. (More …)

Yesterday I added support for SUN GridEngine to the mentat toolbox. That means that from within Matlab you can commit matlab scripts and/or functions to a cluster that is managed by GridEngine. The new code is not yet in the download version, but if you are interested I will send it to you.

FYI, the Distributed Computing Toolbox does not require a full MATLAB running on each node. They just need the Distributed Computing Engine, which is much cheaper than a full MATLAB.
